Suicidal Thoughts & Crisis Support

Suicidal thoughts are more common than many realize and are treatable. Reaching out is a sign of strength.

Symptoms

Thoughts of ending life, feeling like a burden, hopelessness, withdrawal, giving away possessions, and sudden calm after distress.

Causes and risk

Depression, trauma, substance use, chronic pain, isolation, prior attempts, and access to lethal means.

How it is evaluated

Compassionate safety assessment: current thoughts, plans, access to means, protective factors, and support needs.

Treatment

Safety planning, crisis counseling, medication adjustment, therapy, and lethal means counseling.

Questions

Yes. Asking directly does not increase risk and shows care.
